Burcia

Female · Senior · 13 years

Burcia is a senior cat who came to the animal shelter with Mądrca and Kropcia after the death of her caregiver. The loss of home and sudden change in environment is a difficult experience for her, everything she knew is behind her. She is a calm, gentle little cat who feels at ease in human company. She does not impose herself, but the presence of the caregiver gives her a sense of security. She needs a place where she can adapt to the new reality at her own pace. We are looking for a home full of peace and understanding for Burci - a place where she can just be, rest and feel safe. This is a cat who most needs stability, care and the presence of a good person in the autumn of her life. Please take a look at the pre-adoption questionnaire and come to the animal shelter with the completed questionnaire: Before adoption, make sure your home / apartment is safe and properly prepared to welcome a new family member. Note: If you decide to adopt a cat or are considering it, please bring a carrier or transport bag to the animal shelter for transporting cats.

Burcia to kocia seniorka, która do schroniska trafiła razem z Mamcią i Kropcią po śmierci swojego opiekuna. Utrata domu i nagła zmiana otoczenia to dla niej trudne doświadczenie, wszystko, co znała, zostało za nią. Jest spokojną, delikatną koteczką, która dobrze odnajduje się w towarzystwie człowieka. Nie narzuca się, ale bliskość opiekuna daje jej poczucie bezpieczeństwa. Potrzebuje miejsca, w którym będzie mogła w swoim tempie przyzwyczaić się do nowej rzeczywistości. Szukamy dla Burci domu pełnego spokoju i wyrozumiałości - takiego, w którym będzie mogła po prostu być, odpoczywać i czuć się bezpiecznie. To kotka, która na jesień życia najbardziej potrzebuje stabilizacji, troski i obecności dobrego człowieka. Zapraszamy do zapoznania się z ankietą przedadopcyjną i przyjazd do schroniska z już wypełnioną ankietą: Przed adopcją upewnij się, że Twój dom / mieszkanie jest bezpieczne i odpowiednio przygotowane do przyjęcia nowego członka rodziny. Uwaga: Decydując się na adopcję kota lub rozważając ją, koniecznie weź ze sobą do schroniska transporter lub torbę transportową do przewozu kotów.

About Burcia

What life with Burcia looks like

Burcia is a small senior cat waiting at Schronisko Na Paluchu in Warsaw.

Senior cats are the gentlest house guests: predictable, mostly silent, and grateful for a sunny windowsill. Older cats often have minor dental or kidney issues — keep an eye on water intake and weight. Many sleep eighteen hours a day and want no part of any drama.

Note from the shelter: Senior cat needing quiet, patient home for adjustment after losing previous owner

🇵🇱Adopting from Poland

Polish shelters maintain established transport routes to Germany, Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden. Animals leave sterilized and chipped. Adoption fees are typically lower than in Western Europe (often €50–€150) but adopters cover transport.

Frequently asked

Adopting Burcia, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Burcia?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Schronisko Na Paluchu handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Burcia on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Burcia if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Schronisko Na Paluchu will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Burcia already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Burcia isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Schronisko Na Paluchu early rather than rehoming privately; they know Burcia and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (PL). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
